1. O LORD our Governour, how excellent is Thy Name in all the world : Thou
that hast set Thy glory above the heavens!
2. Out of the mouth of very babes and sucklings hast Thou ordained strength,
because of Thine enemies : that Thou mightest still the enemy and the avenger.
3. For I will consider Thy heavens, even the works of Thy fingers : the moon and
the stars, which Thou hast ordained.
4. What is man, that Thou art mindful of him : and the son of man, that Thou
visitest him?
5. Thou madest him lower than the angels : to crown him with glory and worship.
6. Thou makest him to have dominion of the works of Thy hands : and Thou hast
put all things in subjection under his feet;
7. All sheep and oxen : yea, and the beasts of the field;
8. The fowls of the air, and the fishes of the sea : and whatsoever walketh
through the paths of the seas.
9. O Lord our Governour : how excellent is Thy Name in all the world!
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost.
As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end.
AMEN
To him that excelleth on Gittith. A Psalm of David.
1 O Lord our Lord, how excellent is thy Name in all the world! which
hast set thy glory above the heavens.
2 Out of the mouth of babes
and sucklings hast thou ordained strength, because of thine enemies, that
thou mightest still the enemy and the avenger.
3 When I behold thine
heavens, even the works of thy fingers, the moon and the stars which thou
hast ordained,
4 What is man, say I, that thou art mindful of him?
and the son of man, that thou visitest him?
5 For thou hast made him
a little lower than God, and crowned him with glory and worship.
6
Thou hast made him to have dominion in the works of thine hands: thou hast
put all things under his feet:
7 All sheep and oxen: yea, and the
beasts of the field:
8 The fowls of the air, and the fish of the
sea, and that which passeth through the paths of the seas.
9 O Lord
our Lord, how excellent is thy Name in all the world!
1 O God our Lord, how wonderful
are thy works ev'ry where!
Thy fame surmounts
in dignity
the highest
heav'ns that are.
2 E'en by the mouth of sucking babes
thou wilt confound thy foes;
For in those
babes thy might is seen
thy
graces they disclose.
3 And when I see the heav'ns
above,
the work of thine own
hand,
The sun, the moon, and all the stars
in order as they stand;
4 Lord what is man, that thou
of him
tak'st such abundant
care!
Or what the son of man, whom thou
to visit dost not spare!
5 For thou hast made him
little less
than angels in
degree;
And thou hast also crowned him
with glorious dignity.
6 Thou hast preferred him to be
lord
of all thy works, and
thou
Hast in subjection unto him
put all things here below.
7 As sheep, and neat, and all
beasts else
that in the
fields do feed,
Fowls of the air, fish of the
sea,
and all that therein
breed,
8 O God our Lord, how excellent
is thy most glorious Name
In all the earth!
Therefore do we
praise and
adore the same.
